Chapter 17: Upgrade! Blessing of the Fortune God!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Compared to the huge Empyrean Sword Sect more than three thousand mils away, Qingshan Town was just an inconspicuous small town.
The sun was rising, bathing the land in its rays.
A beggar covered in frostbite sat at the gate of the dilapidated temple. His clothes were tattered and his entire body emitted a sour smell. He scratched his hair that had not been washed for a long period of time.
He looked worse than any other beggar.
However, if anyone could get close enough to look closely into his eyes, they would find a sense of authority that encompassed everything.
The beggar was not as simple as he looked.
He was Murong Xuan, the Deputy Mountain Lord of the Taichu Mountain, one of the top 10 sects in the entire Fantasy Continent.
His cultivation had long reached the terrifying True Emperor Realm.
It could be said that in this fantasy world, Murong Xuan was ranked at the top in terms of status and strength.
However, with such terrifying strength and noble status, he had an unknown quirk.
When he was young, he came from a poor family.
On the path of cultivation, he had obtained the help of a benefactor which led him to his current achievements.
Therefore, in his free time, Murong Xuan would disguise as a beggar covered in sores, and roam around in an inconspicuous town.
......
If someone helped him sincerely, even though he had transformed into a beggar, he would give that person a supreme opportunity.
“Please, kind sir, give me something to eat. I haven’t eaten for days.”
Murong Xuan hugged the legs of a passerby and pretended to beg.
“Get lost! Stinky beggar, if you want to die, get lost! Don’t infect me with your rotten sores!”
A passerby kicked him away and cursed.
After being kicked by a mortal, Murong Xuan was neither sad nor happy.
However, he thought to himself,?This person has no opportunity.
Finding good people and giving them opportunities gave Murong Xuan joy.
It was one of his joys to transform into a beggar at the bottom of the hierarchy and experience the coldness and warmth of the world.
At this moment, the fragrance of steamed buns wafted into Murong Xuan’s nose.
“Eat this.”
Looking up, he saw Shen Ran’s eyes filled with pity.
“Your sores look so bad. If you don’t treat them soon, I’m afraid you won’t survive the coming winter.”
Murong Xuan took the steamed bun. Shen Ran took out a few coins and handed them to him.
“Take this money to buy some medicine.”
“Thank you, kind master.”
Murong Xuan grabbed the steamed buns and coins and thanked Shen Ran feelingly.
Shen Ran shook his head gently and turned to leave.
At the same time, he sighed. “It’s not easy to survive in this world.”
Shen Ran was also lamenting in his heart,?Could it be that it’s not the ninth day of the first lunar month today? Did I remember the wrong day? This is already the eleventh beggar I saved. Why haven’t I met the person in the narrative who can give me an opportunity after the good deed?
“Young man, please wait!”
At that moment, the river of time seemed to stop flowing.
All the sounds in the world disappeared.
The wind stopped. On the road, passersby stopped in mid-step.
An extremely dignified voice sounded behind Shen Ran.
“Here we go!”
Shen Ran suppressed his excitement and slowly turned around.
The beggar who was sitting on the ground with rotten sores all over his body had disappeared.
In its place was a tall figure covered in resplendent colors. Just by standing there, he was illuminated by divine light and surrounded by various phenomena like fairies reciting poems.
That person’s expression was calm, but he had a dignified aura.
I’m nowhere near him now!
As soon as his gaze rested on this person, this thought appeared in Shen Ran’s mind.
He had obtained all kinds of talents and the Azure Supreme Thearch inheritance. He felt his narrative becoming real.
“I am the Heavenly Venerate, Immeasurable Fortune.”
Murong Xuan spoke slowly, his voice as loud as the nine heavens.
His words suddenly sounded in his ears. Shen Ran felt enlightened and hurriedly bowed respectfully. “Greetings, True Emperor. I’m Shen Ran!”
He’s actually a True Emperor Realm expert!
Murong Xuan’s short words stirred up a storm in Shen Ran’s heart.
One had to know that other than the Azure Supreme who had once reached the half-step Great Freedom Realm, the True Emperor Realm was the peak of all cultivators!
Every True Emperor Realm expert was the top of the world!
Shen Ran must not be in the least bit careless in his attitude.
Seeing that Shen Ran was so humble, Murong Xuan nodded slightly. “Shen Ran, I see that you are kind-hearted and are willing to help the weak. You have the heart of a pure child and are a person fated with me. I will give you the blessing of the God of Blessing, allowing your cultivation speed to increase by three times and help you rise in your cultivation path. I hope that you will not lose your pure heart in the future and be a kind person.”
As he spoke, Murong Xuan had already reached out and gently stroked Shen Ran’s head.
He muttered, “Fortune as a guide, fortune descends from the sky. Blessings of the God of Blessing!”
“Buzz!”
Shen Ran immediately felt an extremely warm power flowing into his body through Murong Xuan’s palm.
In his body, the Supreme Bones, Pangu Sacred Body, Ancient Immortal Eyes, and Heavenly Spirit Root became active at the same time, fighting to absorb the warm current.
Shen Ran could feel that his cultivation talent was evolving crazily.
Is this the blessing from the God of Blessing??Shen Ran sighed inwardly.
Not long after, all his top-notch talents were 50% stronger than before.
This meant that Shen Ran’s future breakthrough speed could increase by 50%!
Thinking of how the True Emperor had said that he could increase his cultivation speed by three times, Shen Ran was extremely excited.
At that moment, the warmth that had poured into his body disappeared.
“Didn’t you say that you would increase my cultivation speed by three times? Why did the warm current disappear after only increasing it by 50%?”
Shen Ran was dumbfounded and looked at Murong Xuan blankly.
The True Emperor can also lie?
He did not know that Murong Xuan was equally embarrassed.
The so-called blessing of the Blessing of the God was Murong Xuan stimulating Shen Ran’s potential by injecting his spiritual energy into his body.
The moment he touched Shen Ran’s head, he realized that the former had an extremely terrifying cultivation talent.
The stronger the cultivation talent, the more spiritual energy it would consume to stimulate their potential!
When he injected spiritual energy into Shen Ran just now, Murong Xuan had already injected a third of his cultivation into him.
Unexpectedly, he had underestimated Shen Ran’s talent and only increased his cultivation speed by 50%.
Facing Shen Ran’s puzzled gaze, Murong Xuan blushed and poured almost all the spiritual energy in his body into Shen Ran.
Warmth filled his head again.
Shen Ran’s cultivation talent continued to increase.
Seventy percent…
Eighty percent…
Double!
Then the warmth inside him vanished again.
“My cultivation speed still hasn’t increased by three times. It has only increased by two times.”
Shen Ran looked up blankly and realized that Murong Xuan was no longer in front of him.
At this moment, Murong Xuan had already moved thousands of miles away with the spiritual energy he had just left for himself.
“It’s too embarrassing! It’s too embarrassing! If I had known that this kid’s cultivation talent was so terrifying, I wouldn’t have said that I could increase his cultivation speed by three times! I didn’t expect that I had to use almost all the spiritual energy in my body to barely double his cultivation speed. I hope he doesn’t remember my name. Otherwise, how awkward would it be when I see him in the future?”
